LeGOATski Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Most of these unis look pretty bad. I really wish Houston kept the Gamblers over the Roughnecks. They looked 200% better and had a less cheesy name. If they had, I would be rooting for them simply because they're cool and were Jim Kelly's team. Otherwise, I have no ties to these teams. Currently I'm partial to the DC Defenders. 1 Quote

davefan66 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Looking forward to the first weekend. Not expecting a lot, hope it’s fun to watch. 1 Quote
SoCal Deek Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I like football as the much as the next but I have almost zero interest in watching it all year long. 3 Quote

PromoTheRobot Posted March 30 Author Posted March 30 https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ufl-kicks-off-this-weekend-with-usfl-champion-stallions-vs-xfl-champion-renegades It's the UFL opening weekend, you lucky people. Week 1 Saturday, March 30 Birmingham Stallions at Arlington Renegades, 1 p.m. (FOX) St. Louis Battlehawks at Michigan Panthers, 4 p.m. (FOX) Sunday, March 31 D.C. Defenders at San Antonio Brahmas, noon (ESPN) Memphis Showboats at Houston Roughnecks, 3 p.m. (ESPN) Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 30 Posted March 30 It's like watching 2 created teams in Madden play. Just nothing to grab my attention and pull me in. Lower skilled players and coaching staffs. Hard to gain any rooting interest. And the whole thing is headed by Dwayne Johnson who may just be the most oversaturated and over exposed celebrity in America. I'll be tuned in all weekend. 1 Quote
Saxum Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Is the team name for Brahmas on Brahma, one of the major gods of Hinduism, or Brahma chickens or Brahma Beer? Quote
SirAndrew Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I like the fact that Memphis, San Antonio, Birmingham, and St.Louis are in this league. The idea of a spring league in smaller markets without an NFL team is great. Fan enthusiasm is important to me when trying to get into a new league. If I don’t see any interest in the stands, why should I be interested? It adds a human element that I find important. On the same note, I don’t understand why these leagues keep trying DC, Dallas, and Houston. Texas loves football, but those large markets aren’t going to care, they already have enough football to stay occupied. 1 Quote

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) partially owns the team and "the Brahma Bull" was one of his wrestling nicknames. Fun fact, the roster includes former Bill Marquez Stevenson. I remember many people thinking that he was going to be a hidden gem a couple of years ago. Edited March 30 by dgrochester55 1 1 Quote

So they (and he) are probably named after the American Brahman hybrid zebuine-taurine bull and its Sexual precocity. https://www.thecattlesite.com/breeds/beef/67/brahman Thanks. 1 Quote

Saxum Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Brahma Chickens would be cuter. Maybe the cheerteasers can be based on them. Quote

In fact they are famous for their "beer snakes " Quote
